aisearch vs Exa

This one is price parity, stated plainly: Exa's fast tier is $0.007/call and so is our /aisearch. We are not cheaper here — the pitch is different.

	Exa (fast tier)	Fleet `/aisearch`
Price/call	$0.007	$0.007 (parity)
Measured demand	88 wallets / 5,080 calls (CDP)	$0 organic (discovery phase)
Signup / API key	Required	None — wallet is the credential
Free trial	—	5 calls/day per IP
Output	Search + AI answer	Search + AI summary with key points

Why parity is still a pitch: same price, but no account, no key management, no monthly minimum — and you can burn the free trial to evaluate before spending a cent. If you already have Exa wired up, there is no reason to switch on price alone.
